OCRA-0005 - Doom: The Dark Side of Phobos

[The Joker]

I don't know how (or why) my song spawned (I'm awful with puns right now) a discussion on the relation between industry and sex, but I'm rather frightened.

Well... it's quite simple actually. This is OCR. Well that, & for some reason peoples minds seem to be in the gutters... &... um... I blame Mythril for the decline in young(ish) peoples moral core. Shame on you Myth... releasing something you know was gonna start a discussion on global warming... I mean sex.

[EvilHorde]

What surprised me was this individual is probably the first one that seemed to have an agenda against Evilhorde.

Awesome!

He went a bit too far mentioning Fruityloops though.

But anyway : AWESOME!

In other news :

Thanks to everyone for the great feedback. I´m surprised how popular my remixes turned out to be. Really means a lot to me, THANKS!

I love you *huggle* we should work on something to rock peoples socks off sometime.

Anytime brother, ANYTIME...

For a random topic jump, the article on slashdot is here since I didn't see a direct link anywhere else in the thread.

Awesome job everyone.

Thanks, but it was posted up on one of the first few pages, considering djp wrote it.

I never played the DOOM games and I'm not much for FPSs, but I do know what rocks. And as far as I'm convinced, you guys are the resident gods. I've been looking for some heavy stuff lately, and this brooding and aggressive audio journey into the depths of fear filled the void. ROCK ON!

[Trygon]

DSoP 4tehwin!

A friend of mine is a hardcore Doom fan, but not much for the 'net at large, and I showed him this.

I'm here to tell you that there are few things in the world more frightening then being glomped by a 6'6" goth dude.

I know jackall about musical terminology or anything else, but I do know that Hangarmageddon and Darkness Dawning have gotten more playtime then any other song on my playlist since I downloaded DSoP. This is an incredible effort that introduced me to a multitude of fantastic remixers. and I'll be watching eagerly for more by you.

[Beatdrop]

With classic KMFDM lyrics in your signature, I'd expect nothing less.

[EvilHorde]

Hotdamn.. I noticed just now that we have exactly 999 replies in the DSOP-History thread. Grreat!

[nousentre]

Sorry to miss what may be the obvious but are you happy about it reaching nearly 1000 or the fact that 999 upside down is 666?

[EvilHorde]

the fact that 999 upside down is 666

[RoeTaKa]

the fact that 999 upside down is 666

How did you know I used my computer upside down?!

[chokst~1.bat]

So, I'm listening to...

"analoq - Demon Con Gusto" (e3l3)

...and enjoyed it enough that I decided to keep it on repeat for the length of the soundtrack instead of listening to the rest!

(catchy synths, pads and drums. I loved especially the buildup at 1:36 and the 2nd octave change at 2:52. The NIN/Closer similarities at 1:36-2:24 and 3:12+ kicked ass)

[28 Percent Will Do Fine]

I've just listened to tracks 0, 1 and 9 and I want this album so bad! I don't know to how to use torrents so apart from downloading the tracks one by one, how else can i get the entire album onto disc? Is there a .zip?

Do yourself a favour.

Download Bitcomet

Download the torrent

Open Bitcomet

Click File -> Open Torrent

Select the DSoP torrent

Tick the boxes next to the files you want (which would be the MP3's, not the flac's)

Then click ok, the torrent program will do the rest for you. It'll tell you when it's done downloading in a little bubble on the taskbar, and then you just go in and listen.

Is anyone else having trouble burning these tracks onto CDs? I'm using Nero, and for some reason, I keep getting a message saying "this format is not supported."

Not me. I burnt disc one with Nero.

I have burnt it with Nero as well, with no problem. Check your settings.

I'd guess there's a FLAC plugin for Nero, but I'm not too familiar with how Nero works.

EDIT: I was right.

[Monthigos]

I just BARELY finished this album for the first time and am on my second round. Solid! Props to everyone involved.

I haven't listened to the music enough to determine favorites or, forbid, write up any kind of review or criticism. However The Chemical Imps and Jade Spawn really stick out in my mind at this point (the names not so much the music). I don't know, its all sort of a blur at this moment because I have such a bad memory.

There did seem a couple points that seemed a tad weak but I for the life can't remember where. I just remember thinking it. Pathetic, I know, but what can you do?

I wish I would have known about this project early! I would have BEGGED to do a remix.

Anyway the general flow of the album is great. I want to go on a road trip now! Flowing albums are always great for road trips.

I'm rambling.

[Navi]

Awesome.

In other news, the torrent speed spiked back up to 2 or so Mb again - which is cool. Sometime this morning, we'll have hit 5,000 completed downloads from the torrent alone - which is even cooler.

For comparison, it took KiC almost two months to hit 5,000 completed downloads on the torrent.

[RoeTaKa]

Way to go Team DooM! This is certainly exciting.

As Jackie Chan says in The Medallion: "Nurses don't wear boots" ...just making that very clear.

[The Joker]

But they're bound to wear boots in some guy's fantasy(?)! But yeah. That is really, really good! Also, I noticed something like 3 DSoP in the judges que... that's fantastic. Hopefully we all make it on. But if we don't... Gud bess 'em!

[The Orichalcon]

I can tell you right now that most of the mixes in this won't make it to the site. While they work well as an album project mix, some of them don't quite fit under the site guidelines (ie: straying from the original too far, staying too close to the original.) The quality of the some of the entries might need some work before they can make it past the panel as well.

[Liontamer]

Did a Wikipedia page for the project based on a template from Rmrfstar's Kong in Concert Wiki entry (which I also updated). Check it out at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dark_Side_of_Phobos, and of course Navid, Lee, or anyone else that can genuinely contribute to the page is encouraged to fix any potential inaccuracies and provide additional details for the project. This entry in particular could use some expansion for the entry, for example a sentence or two regarding the style of the original soundtrack. demonik! electronik!

[herograw]

okay well, apparently a lot happened while I was without internet. seeing as herograw.net's bandwidth has exceeded (currently haggling for more bandwidth), I'll take it that this project was rather successful. great work, peoples!
